I got into AI in 2023 for a few months just to see if I could make sense of it all.
The whole thing as an industry is almost entirely smoke and mirrors meant to confuse, obscuring theft and fraud.
It does have some neat applications and opportunities, (generating templates; storyboarding) but warrants a small R&D team of enthusiasts, not the collective investment and resources of entire nations.
what you’re forgetting is: it makes all video blackmail tapes useless… or it’s getting closer to that…
at any rate, that’s the only way i can rationalize the amount of money going into it…
btw, did you know that when the FBI raided Epstein’s island, they forgot to get a warrant for his safe, which was full of hard drives and videos… after they got the warrant, the safe had been emptied….
from a secured fbi crime scene on an island…
i guess nobody talks about it because there’s not much else to the story….
well, except, how was the safe even excluded? if they’re searching the whole property, wouldn’t the safe be included?
